Here are a couple of websites you need to read for more info on how to go about it.
My Friend is Talking About Suicide,What Should I do?
*******If his mom knows and is doing nothing...thats so sad. Any other relative would do if you know of any. Or any adult. I don't know if calling the cops would help should you know when he plans on running...but I would give it a try too if you have to.********* [ karenR's advice column | Ask karenR A Question ]

Don't keep these things to youselves. Even if you're afraid he's going to be mad. It's worth his life.
Ivy921 answered Tuesday November 1 2005, 7:50 pm: This sounds pretty serious and probably more than you can your sister can handle on your own. Since you are involved, talk to your parents, tell them what is going on. Maybe if they feel comfortable they can talk to his parents and get him the help he needs. If talking to either set of parents are not options, I think talking to a guidance counselor in school. You may worry that this is going behind his back, you can tell him that you are really worried and thinks that he needs some help and has to trust you that you care for what is best for him. He may be really mad at this, but if he gets the help he needs and comes through this, he'll thank you in the end.
good luck and keep me posted. [ Ivy921's advice column | Ask Ivy921 A Question ]

caden answered Tuesday November 1 2005, 6:56 pm: You should tell the social worker so that he can get help. Talk to him and tell him that if he kills himself, alot of people will be heartbroken and that if its because of a stressful situation that the bad time will pass.
Ask him what the problem is and talk to him about it. I know, you could show him advicenators and he could ask questions and get advice to help with the situation and you could help him too. [ caden's advice column | Ask caden A Question ]
